Today In Biden Land

Yes but Trump wasn't Biden. Biden had 80 million completely real and legitimate people honest to God registered voters elect him.....only 60%? Only 60%? Surely not good for America's historically popular President.

This conversation prompted me to look at the "Historical Gallup Polling comparison" of Presidents since FDR.

Some interesting shit in there.

"He walked in the shadows"

by Dia and Miles Teamwork LLC

The Eggman walked in the shadows
Of the streets of Tikrit,
Breathing controlled,
Someone too was watching him check it,
They had each others backs,
Friends and comrades together,
Beanz was back in the mess by the barracks,
Ordinary folk like Laing look lowly,
As the rebels take pot shots and confess
And leave pipe bombs and IEDs slowly,

Prepared to die for brothers,
Some did near and far,
Whilst the fortunate others,
Emotional scars

The veteran wears his beret with pride
On parade day, or when he lands on the beach:
With a top-notch parachute that cost quite a pretty penny ---
Paid for by the legion.

Do ya feel that? That's the unifying unity uniting us all into the great dystopian future of totalitarian rule.

This conversation prompted me to look at the "Historical Gallup Polling comparison" of Presidents since FDR.

Some interesting shit in there.

For instance:

• Trump's average approval rating throughout his term: 41 (lowest among the previous 13 Presidents, since FDR)
• Trump's highest approval rating while in office: 46 (only President not to crack the 50's)
• Lowest approval rating while in office: 34 (at least a few have him beat in that category... Carter 28, Nixon 24, Truman 22)

Well... Carter suffered through the Iran hostage crisis. Nixon of course was undone by Watergate... and Truman's downfall was the Korean War.

Anyway, these are Gallup numbers... and obviously those who end up disfavored by Gallup immediately dismiss them as flawed. Unfortunately, there aren't too many other choices out there with regards to Presidential approval rating polls. (Unless of course you want to believe Fox News polls on the subject... ).

But being the thorough chap that I am, I researched Gallup themselves. Seems like Gallup obtained a grade of "B" by a site that grades polling firms.

So I guess I don't feel TOO off base.

Did Truman, Nixon, or Carter have to battle 90+% negative stories from the 24/7 newsmedia?

Hit piece after hit piece after hit piece and constant disingenuous claims?


Not like Trump did. And what irritates me is NOBODY acknowledges the media turning on a dime and covering Biden with the same fawning softball bullshit they gave Obama. Ooooh check out Joe's socks! Joe has dogs YAAAAAAY!!!!! Joe plays Mario Kart WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!


Meanwhile Trump breathing is enough to make the media seethe in anger.

Only the media which everyone knows is biased and unreliable. Whether anyone cares to admit this or not... news media like CNN are WIDELY perceived by the public in general as totally biased to the left, and Trump haters at that.
BUT..... let it also be said that Trump made it his business from Day One to treat the media with the same hostility which became his trademark.
Who shot the first salvos? It's a matter of personal opinion.
But from the get-go, Trump dug his trenches, and prepared for the war he himself helped create.
Think about it. You yourself have claimed that the media "LOVED" Trump ( ) when he was just a pompous New Yorker with Celebrity Apprentice fame.
Why the sudden turn to view him as Public Enemy #1? Deep State related? Nah. Trump's own doing, for the most part.
I speak for myself.
I was willing to give Trump the benefit of the doubt, because deep down, I couldn't stand the thought of Hillary as President.
But Trump quickly dismantled that benefit all by his lonesome.
To dismiss my (and others like me) turn on Trump as some sort of "biased-media-fed" propaganda..... is if you think about it an insult to my own intelligence and abilities of discernment.
In this age of endless videos and sound bites... nobody depends on digested news (by others), or interpretations on something you're unable to see/hear firsthand.

Trump set out from the get-go to draw the lines in the sand and divide. US vs. THEM.
If the media is "taking it easy" on Biden, as you claim..... some of it may be due to just PLAIN OL' RELIEF AT HAVING SOMEONE UP THERE WHO ISN'T NASTY AND COMBATANT EVEN IN HIS SLEEP.

See above.

Is that acknowledged by everyone? I don't feel it is. I don't believe for a second that people who dislike Trump pause when CNN touts a bullshit story about him and say "Awww, but it's CNN saying those things and they are biased so we can't go believing what they're telling us without taking a harder look at it".

Donald Trump wasn't always hostile to the media. The media wasn't always hostile to Donald Trump. I'm telling you as a Conservative Republican who has seen numerous political figures that attempted to represent my views that the media will give oxygen to a politician, a candidate, a pundit only to cut it off when it matters. See John McCain, the media DARLING when he fought against George W and then when he ran against Obama what happened? The media were always Lucy holding the football for the Conservative Charlie Brown to kick only to pull it away when shit mattered. EVERY SINGLE TIME....Trump beat them to the punch which is why a lot of media got really salty on him very fast. Look at MSNBC's Morning Joe...Joe & Mika were going to pull that shit on Trump and he hit them in advance. That's yet another reason I appreciated Trump. Trump wasn't naive and he wasn't dumb when it came to the media.

The media pumped up Trump and they were told to by the Democrats. Read the Wikileaks emails! 'Pied Piper Candidates' https://www.salon.com/2016/11/09/the...iper-strategy/

The media & DNC have worked together closely for quite some time. If you look in the Wikileaks emails you'll see various "journalists" who do nothing but tote water for the DNC, they are mere propagandists and to mention their COLLUSION to pump up Trump before pulling the rug out from under him isn't an insult to your intelligence it's providing more context to why Trump used the media and then turned on them so hard....if you don't see that piece of information, then yeah it paints an entirely different picture.

The media is taking it easy on Joe because he's ESTABLISHMENT/MIC friendly and to doubt that is to insult MY intelligence.



Also well before Trump ran for President, yeah he was well liked/tolerated by the media, ALL media. Then he won the GOP Primary and he became a Nazi.....and nobody raised an eyebrow Really? Really Then the disingenuous takes came in hot & heavy "He called ALL Mexicans rapists & murderers", "Muslim ban!!!!!", "Very fine people!!!!!!".....all absolute lies pumped without any fucking context on purpose...so yeah I don't buy this "Trump did it himself"

Yes but Trump wasn't Biden. Biden had 80 million completely real and legitimate people honest to God registered voters elect him.....only 60%? Only 60%? Surely not good for America's historically popular President.

I kniw it's hard for you to accept but Biden really did beat Trump in an election that all the people running it said was fair and secure. So far there are a grand total of two (2) known cases of voter fraud, both Trump voters who voted twice. Subsequent recounts in various states show that the result was correct and the voting was fair. All the accusations about fraud and criminality have turned out to be complete bullshit. The only investigation into actual large scale election fraud is currently being made into Donald Trump and his attempt to illegally change the result of the election in Georgia.

As far as the approval rating goes all the pollsters have similar numbers. There are hundreds of pollsters, both Democratic pollsters and Republican pollsters working to produce these polls. Their personal careers and the commercial survival of the firms they work for depends on themproducing accurate results. You're seriously claiming that all of these people and businesses would put their careers and businesses on the line to give one politician or political party some kind of boost? That's idiotic Lyle.

Trump actually did better in Detroit and Philadelphia in terms of vote share than he did in 2016. He lost those states in the white suburbs, not the Black cities, you clueless fucking racist ignormaus.

Other than mandating that plastic potatoes must have penises this is the top legislative priority of the party of the working classes:

Making sure that the heirs of couples who die leaving more than $23 million in their estate* pay no tax on their inheritance.

*Not including tax planning of course. You can actually leave hundreds of millions of dollars tax free if you plan correctly.
